Demon: Chapter Twenty Six by Nephy Hart

My heart breaks that my prince should doubt me so. It breaks double that he should doubt himself. His loss of trust in me is hardly surprising as I kept from him an important secret, especially as I knew it would hurt his confidence when he discovered it. His lack of faith in himself is not only entirely unfounded but might very well be disastrous for us all. This is a crucial time for relations between our peoples and strong leadership is vital. I have no idea what went on within the Counsel chamber but I have no doubt my prince showed strong leadership. I saw it still in the way he dismissed his sister.

Carlos looked up as the office door opened and a red-eyed Daniel stumbled out. Following his instinct, he reached out to support his boy’s arm and led him to a nearby chair.

“I’ll see you same time next week, Daniel,” Anne was saying as she picked up the next set of notes and called a name that had a nervous man, who had been watching Carlos like a hawk since he arrived, jumping up and scurrying into the office.

“Thank you for waiting, Sir.” Daniel’s soft voice brought Carlos out of his thoughts.

Maybe no one else had ever noticed, but Kraig should’ve remembered. Whenever I ate at his parents, I dished up my plate first, and I’d take things I knew he liked—because Park knew his favorites too.

Derek had been regular on the club scene long enough to know the regulars and who was fresh meat. He’d not seen Josiah around before he wanted to be the first to have him. He turned on his prime seduction skills and before long, he’d talked him into going back to his place.

As Derek unlocked the door, he turned to Josiah and asked if he had any condoms. He didn’t nor did Josiah. “No matter, I’m gonna fuck him silly anyway!” Derek thought to himself.

It wasn’t long until they were both naked and a writhing mass of arms and legs sprawled on the couch.

It was a perfect day. The sun shone brightly amid the blue sky, while a gentle breeze blew from the north. The birds chirped happily from the trees, occasionally diving toward the ground to grab a crumb or another. Josh chewed on his ham and cheese sandwich. He thought about his day so far. He was close to finishing the massive project he’d been working on for the last month. His neighbor had called to tell him that they had delivered a package for him. He smiled. He could hardly wait to get home and become immersed in those books. All in all, life was good. Except for one thing.
